Poppy

Chihuahua

Female, 4 yrs
Cortez, CO
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
In the wake of their owner's unforeseen passing, Poppy and her fellow pets were taken in by the San Juan County Sheriff's Department. Despite multiple contacts with the owner's family, no one was willing to provide a home, leading to an extended shelter stay. Thankfully, several pets were adopted by local individuals, but after a week, three remained in need of placement. We then offered to provide care and assistance in finding them secure, warm, and loving homes.   With her petite frame of 11 lbs, Poppy is a beacon of hope, demonstrating that even the tiniest can possess a boundless heart. As she adapts to her new environment, Poppy is gradually emerging from her shell, revealing a loving and affectionate spirit. Presently, she's basking in the warmth of cuddles on the couch and the pleasure of good scratches.    If you can provide a warm, safe space for this little pipsqueak to fully recover emotionally, please submit an application on our website.  ##2262371##

Violet

Chihuahua

Female, 6 yrs
Cortez, CO
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Following the unexpected passing of their owner, Violet and her fellow pets were taken into custody by the San Juan County Sheriff's Department. Despite multiple attempts to contact the owner's family, no one was willing to provide a home, resulting in their continued stay at the shelter. Fortunately, a few were adopted by local residents, but after a week, three pets remained. We subsequently offered to provide a safe haven to facilitate their placement in warm and loving homes.   Being the largest and oldest (around 6 years old and nearly 20 lbs) Violet has considered it her duty to act as the protector of the bunch. In unfamiliar territory, they will huddle behind her while she faces the danger head on.    Beneath her tough facade, Violet has revealed a loving personality. She demands pets and gives kisses in return. She also has the most endearing little underbite!   If you can provide this little gal with the loving home she truly deserves, please submit an application on our website. ##2262373##

Story
Upon the sudden discovery of their owner's passing, Rosie and the remainder of her furry family were taken in by the San Juan County Sheriff's Department. Despite numerous outreach efforts to the owner's family, none were willing to assume responsibility, leaving the pups in the pound. Thankfully, several were adopted by community members, but three remained after a week. We then stepped in to provide interim care, aiming to secure safe, warm, and nurturing homes.   Rosie's resilience is inspiring as she settles into her foster home, leaving her traumatic past behind. She's tackling everyday challenges head-on, from getting used to household noises to trusting her caregivers. While fans, lights, and ice makers still startle her, she's making tremendous strides. And when fear takes hold, a minor accident is a reminder that she's still healing, but on the path to a brighter future.   This lovely little gem deserves a special home, and we believe that together, we can find the ideal environment for her. Rosie is bound to steal your heart and snuggle her way into your lap.   Hop on over to our website to learn more about Rosie, and to apply to adopt! ##2262369##
